What was the first movie to make you cry?

 

What was the last?

 

 

For me the first is a tie because I don't remember which I saw first.  I cried during "Jungle Book" when I thought Shere Khan had killed Baloo.  And I cried during "The Wizard of Oz" when I thought the flying monkeys(bad monkeys!!) had killed the scarecrow.

 

The last was just a few years ago when skip died in "My Dog Skip".  I don't think I cried because he died, but because he died alone without the boy being there.

 

Your turn.

Okay, well... this topic will force me to make a confession that is decidedly "less-than-Stoic"... I cry at lots of things in television and movies if nobody is around. Never in front of people ("It's just something in my eye...") because I am WAY too butch for that...


The first movie I remember crying at was "Old Yeller" when the very cool dog got rabies and had to be shot... man, I am almost tearing up even thinking about it now. I was at a drive-in movie (wow, dating myself...) and my Mom was crying too. Man...


The very last time I cried was during an episode of Star Trek: Voyager that I was watching here at home a few days ago. The Doctor almost left the ship to sing opera at some planet and when he ended up staying in the end Seven of Nine gave him a piece of "fan mail" that was a real tear-jerker (for a dork like me...).


The last movie that I felt teary at was "I Am Legend" I think... the dog turning into a zombie about killed me.


Side Note: Just about every single episode of "Little House on the Prarie" would get a good tear out of me back in the day... if I was alone of course. What a sap I am... and now you all know it. I NEVER cry when I'm ripping down beaver dams.

 Robert Heinlein once said, "What is it that makes a dam built by beavers for a beaver's purpose any more "natural" than a dam built by men for the pupose of men?

Not trying to sound macho, I swear, but I honestly can't remember.  If I had to guess, the last movie I cried during was either Juno or Sweeney Todd(when he discovered one of the multiple twists).  The first....oh god....um.....I really don't remember but I know it was WAY before then.

I have to add my first cry toooo....My aunt took me to see Bambi and I cried when his parent deer got killed. Don't get me started on Gentle Ben movies, they always would get tears from me.

I can't remember the last time I cried for any reason.  It's not really something I do (needless to say, I have embraced the inner deadness  ;-)  ).  Lord knows there's lot's of stuff in life that I probably should be crying over.

 

The first really depressing movie I can remember seeing was Silent Running (saw it right after Star Wars at a drive-in when I was 6).  The most touching movie that I can remember watching recently was The Fountain.

I believe the first movie I cried during was, like the Horror Czar, Old Yeller. Except for I saw it at my great uncle Buddy's house. That was seems like such a long time ago...

The last one movie I watched that made me cry was 30 Days of Night - the ending to be exact. I don't know, but it seems I have a thing for horror movies that will make me cry... I could name several others, but 30 Days was the last one.

i was 11 years old (i can't remember  a movie that made me cry before then) in fact there were a couple of movies that year

that still bring tears to my eyes, first one is "the lion king" (MUFASAAA!!!! sob sob) the second one i still can't watch it without feeling teary, the excellent Luc Besson movie "Leon" ("the professional" here it was called "el asesino perfecto"), the ending gets me every time.

First was "After the Promise" a true story starring Mark Harmon about a guy in (i think) Depression-era USA who has his three little boys taken away from him and put in foster care after the death of his wife, the three boys suffer terribly in various boys' homes, orphanages etc and i watched it with my mum when i was quite young and she started bawling and i guess the tears were contagious coz I did too...!

 

Okay, the girly-man in me gets misty eyed at a few movies (Leon was one, also Dead Poets' Society, couple of others) but i think the last one was actually Sixth Sense, when the kid tells his mum about how her mother came to see her dance, Toni Collette's acting just got to me in that scene, she's really good.
